Feel free to discuss anything about any of the thousands of Transformer toys here. Anything from Generation 1 all the way to the soon to be released, the never to be released or the hope to be released is fair game! Want to show off your stuff?

The only difference to the mold is the head and extra weapons.

I wouldn't get my hopes up that these come looking as awesomely painted when they hit shelves. These look like promo shots and those always get extra paint apps.

These are definitely not Has/Tak promo shots, they aren't horribly photoshopped and mistransformed like Hasbro always does and the paint jobs are different from Takara's. Robotkingdom took these of Hasbro figures they have in-hand.

I would love to see these before Christmas because then we'd actually have a hope of seeing them in decent quantities. Alas, Wave 2 is just barely hitting up here in Canada so I doubt we'll see these soon, if at all. Although, back East they're just now getting PRiD Deluxe wave 2, so maybe there's hope.

I like the FoC molds of Optimus Prime, Jazz, and Shockwave, so these retools/repaints are a welcome thing to me. Kickback looks nice and I am very much liking the modularity of some of the weapon accessories.

nice figures. an improvement from the previous releases. my only concern is starscream. based on it's transformation, it has shoulders like the one from the classics line, but will it have a hollow chest when viewed from the sides in robot mode? i like the figure but i don't like any hollowness in the chest area like the first edition cliffjumper, which have a huge gaping hole when viewed from the side.
